The Week of Slovak Film has already become a nice tradition, offering a selection of the latest works of national cinematography in a condensed time period. Between April 3 and 9, almost 30 feature films and several short films will be screened at the Lumiére cinema in downtown Bratislava, organisers informed.

Also, the Sun in the Net awards, the prizes for the Slovak Film and Television Academy (SFTA), will be awarded – at a festive gala-evening on April 7 in the Old Market-hall in the capital – with the ceremony being part of this week. On this evening, dramaturgist, script-writer, director, publicist and lecturer Rudolf Urc will get this prize for his exceptional contribution to national cinematography. One day before the official launch of the Week of Slovak Film, on April 2, a selection of his films will be screened at Lumiére; his documentaries and animated films will be completed with a cameo about him.

The Sun in the Net awards have become annual – instead of biennal, as they were originally – which, according to Mirka Brezovská from the LITA association of authors, shows that national production has been increased. A new feature is the vote for the winning movies by the public which continues until March 31 through the sfta.sk website.

At Lumiére, all the films shown during the Week of Slovak Film will be screened with English subtitles. Afterwards, the films will tour cinemas around Slovakia, coming to Banská Bystrica, Kežmarok, Košice, Martin, Nitra, Partizánske, Spišská Nová Ves, Trnava and Žilina. However, the film clubs and film theatres there will be free to choose whether they screen the most recent Slovak movies with, or without English subtitles.
